How devices are powered wirelessly, wearable HD display, build an Arduino proximity sensor to avoid running into people, quick 3D prototyping, and flexible circuit boards.

Pokemon Stop: Part I

Project Overview:

What the easiest way to get hurt playing Pokemon? By walking into things as you travel with your head in your phone.

  • We're going to help you avoid walking into windows, glass doors, telephone poles, people, and potentially body-breaking traffic.

Parts List:

  1. Arduino (I'd suggest a Mini or Nano) ~$2-3
  2. Ultrasonic Sensor (HC-SR04) ~$1
  3. Motor Shaker

Here's the Software:
